Advice from experienced bicycle-accident attorneys in San Jose

Our combination of sea, sky and sun makes the Bay Area a cyclist’s dream. The accident lawyers at Needham Kepner & Fish LLP live and work in this area. We bike here too. As avid cyclists, we know the terrible toll that bicycle accidents take on riders and their families.

Lighten up: More cyclists are killed between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. than during any other period, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The California Vehicle Code requires cyclists who are riding at night to have proper lights and reflectors. Also, wear light-colored, reflective clothing. Make sure you can see and be seen.

Ride ready: Whether you are heading out on Camden Avenue or the Los Alamitos Creek Trail, do a gear check before you go. Be sure your brakes work properly and your wheels are secure. Mechanical failures cause accidents.

Intersections known to be dangerous, such as Brokaw Road, just east of First Street

Cycling is a sport, a hobby and a great activity to share with friends and family. But you need to stay alert so you won’t be injured, especially in an accident with an automobile. If you are involved in an injury accident, our attorneys can help.
